ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 2 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMY
Executive summary
The transition from fossil fuel energy sources to advanced renewable sources is well underway in Wisconsin, but
at present Wisconsin manufacturers are not optimally positioned to integrate themselves into the supply chain
for advanced energy generation technologies such as wind, solar, and biogas, along with energy storage tech-
nologies such as lithium-based batteries.
In this report we evaluate the market conditions for existing Wisconsin manufacturers to further develop prod-
ucts and processes to support green energy industries, and we identify specific R&D opportunities to leverage
existing capacity and capabilities to meet the current development requirements of the wind, solar, biogas, and
lithium battery industries.
Global climate change will require changes in how we produce energy. At the same time, recent geopolitical
events combined with the COVID-19 outbreak is certain to lead to a reevaluation of global supply chains. Taken
in combination it is likely that market and policy changes will create significant opportunities for the domestic
manufacture of the components associated with the production of ‘green’ energy. Using a combination of NAICS
industrial data and proprietary firm data, that is scalable to the national level, we determine the real capacity
for Wisconsin State manufacturers to participate in the component supply chain associated with wind and so-
lar power. We find that there exists significant untapped manufacturing capacity that could be utilized in the
relatively short term if required and if opportunity costs are deemed appropriate. We also address bridgeable
capacity gaps and workforce-related issues.

ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 3 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMY
1. Introduction: Changing Climate, Consumer Preferences, and Producer Preferences.
A growing consensus regarding the policy significance of global climate change is likely to require relatively
swift changes to how we produce energy. This change, as with all changes, will bring both challenges and op-
portunities. With this study, we hope to provide assistance to Wisconsin manufacturers to minimize the former
while enabling us to more fully exploit the latter. The broad manufacturing base of the state, combined with a
solid transportation network, and a strong educational system is well placed to become a significant component
to the supply chains of so-called green technologies.
Countries worldwide are now facing dual challenges of combating climate change while fueling economic
growth. Renewable energy is one of the most viable solutions to control and reduce the impact of greenhouse
gases produced by conventional fossil fuels. The transition to renewable energy is well underway both in Wis-
consin and nationally, and in this report we intend to identify Wisconsin firms that are well-suited and well-po-
sitioned to shift into the manufacture of components for green industries. Due to the nature of these products,
we have focused primarily – although not exclusively – on firms engaged in manufacturing across the state.
We have sought to identify the specific businesses that have expertise and capability that is aligned with what
would be needed to participate in manufacturing for wind, solar, biogas, or batteries. From this we consider the
current size (in terms of the value of output and employment) to arrive a rough measure of capacity.
This work should be seen as the first step to a better understanding of how Wisconsin industry might transition
in the face of changing consumer and producer preferences. This way, if change is to occur, we might minimize
disruption to the Wisconsin economy, the many businesses doing fine work, and the tens of thousands of people
who depend upon the jobs in these sectors. The next steps would be to reach out to some of the firms identified
below to better understand how and if these transitions might be made, to identify obstacles that might exist,
and to better align the State’s incentives to its long-run economic objectives.
2. Current Green Energy Generation in the United States and Future Projections
Green energy, such as solar and wind power, has grown rapidly in the United States over the past decade. As of
2018, fossil fuels still dominated in meeting American energy demands, but the generation of renewable energy
increased by 100% from 2000. Specifically, about 17.1% of U.S. electricity consumed in 2018 was from renew-
ables, and this number is expected to grow to 24% by 2030 and 38% by 2050.1 Most of the increase will likely be
attributed to solar and wind.

Figure 2.1
As projected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA, hereafter), the U.S. electricity generation from
renewables is expected to exceed coal and nuclear by 2021 and to surpass natural gas by 2045 (Figure 2.1). In
the meantime, the electricity generated from wind and solar will surpass geothermal, hydroelectric and other
sources by 2022 and make up nearly 80% of the renewable total by 2050 (Figure 2.2).

3. The Current State of Wisconsin Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector, as defined by the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS); “Compris-
es establishments engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances,
or components into new products.”2 Manufacturing remains a significant part of the Wisconsin economy and
is a significant employer in the State. Before the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic, Wisconsin employment in
manufacturing was at a near 10 year high (See figure 3.1 below) with a little over 480,000 people compromising
roughly 16% of all employment across the State (versus just over 10% nationwide3).
According to the most recent census data (2015) there exist roughly 8,800 establishments engaged in manufac-
turing across the State (NAICS codes 31-33).4 These are spread across more than two-hundred subsectors. On the
whole, the sector is highly dynamic and highly diverse.
Figure 3.1
When compared to other sectors within the State, manufacturing has proven to be more resilient to changes
brought about by the epidemic. On the far right-hand side, we see that the share of manufacturing employment
has risen in the last few months from the aforementioned 16% to roughly 17.5% of total State employment
(Figure 3.2 below). Thus, while the Wisconsin economic ‘pie’ has been contracting rapidly manufacturing has
remained relatively more robust resulting in it now having a larger share of total employment.
We should, however, be careful to not read too much into this. Given the sharp downward reaction of the man-
ufacturing sector to the financial crisis of the last decade, it cannot be said that this sector is generally more
resilient. Still, if pandemics such as the one we are currently experiencing are to be more common in the future,
it is useful to know about which sectors are likely to be relatively resilient. This also reinforces the value of a
diversified State economy is facing a variety of economic calamities.

Figure 3.2
In terms of output, manufacturing contributes roughly 58 Billion annually to the Wisconsin Economy (Figure 3.3
below). This amounts to roughly 19% of the total State output by value Which makes manufacturing the single
largest share of the State economy. Moreover, the share held by manufacturing has remained relatively consis-
tent in recent years. Of particular note is the especially large number of suppliers to the automotive industry
(gearboxes, precision machining, bearings, and molding), producers of industrial transformers and generators,
as well as fiberglass manufacturers (See table 3). Each of these has application in the green energy supply chain.
Figure 3.3
ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 7 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMY
Exports of Wisconsin manufactured goods (Figure 3.4 below) grew steadily during the first decade of the millen-
nium, recovered relatively quickly from the 2008-2009 financial crisis, and have remained relatively stable since
that time. The fact that Wisconsin manufacturing continues to be globally competitive with relatively high pro-
duction costs strongly suggests that a uniquely productive and resourceful set of firms exist within this sector. It
also suggests that changes in global economic policy incentivizing green energy could lead to an improvement
in the State’s export demand bringing in much-needed incomes to Wisconsin households.
Figure 3.4
Although Wisconsin exports of manufactured goods are strong the State has, in recent years, come to be a net
importer. In Figure 3.5 below we see the value of Wisconsin manufactured imports subtracted from the value
of manufactured imports. This suggests that there exists untapped local demand should producers be able to
increase production at a competitive price.
Figure 3.5
ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 8 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMY
In sum, manufacturing in Wisconsin accounts for a significant amount of State economic activity. When com-
pared to the rest of the United States Wisconsin manufacturing is larger, more diverse, and provides more jobs
at higher pay. As such, significant alterations in the demand for manufactured goods and services are potentially
highly disruptive to the State economy as a whole. A better understanding of how the industry might be able to
effectively react to changing consumer preferences as well as legislative mandates and incentives could help to
maintain State macroeconomic and employment stability over time.
4. The Current State of Green Energy Manufacture in Wisconsin and Neighboring States
As the national energy landscape and manufacturing have been transforming to meet new and diversified op-
portunities, renewable energy remains under-developed across Wisconsin (Figure 4.1), and the state still largely
relies on fossil fuels to power its economy.
However, its neighboring states, at the same time, have outshined Wisconsin in the development, deployment,
and usage of green energy. Minnesota, for example, is very similar to Wisconsin in terms of climate, demograph-
ics and geography. However, Minnesota has pursued far more aggressive goals in renewables by prioritizing
green energy and adopting policies to boost its sustainable growth. The EIA data indicates that only 9.3% of
Wisconsin’s utility-scale net electricity came from renewables in 2019, among which wind and solar contributed
less than 3%. By contrast, about 25% of Minnesota electricity production was green in 2019, with wind and solar
accounting for roughly 22% of the state’s electric power (Figure 4.2). Minnesotans are expected to enjoy more
clean energy to power their homes, businesses and industries over the next several decades (Hubbuch (2020)).
Iowa, another neighboring state of Wisconsin, is also a national leader in renewables, particularly, wind
power (Figure 4.3). As of 2019, Iowa ranked first in the nation for wind energy which generated about 42%
of the state’s electricity. It also ranked second in terms of installed wind capacity which attracted explo-
sive capital investments ($19 billion throughout 2019) from wind industry.5 Those wind projects generat-
ed $61 million of local and state tax revenues. So far, Iowa has become home to several major wind manu-
facturers including producers of turbine and blade, such as Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and blade
manufacturer TPI Composites. Jobs created in Iowa’s wind industry increased to nearly 10,000 in 2018
alone.6 In Wisconsin, only 5,500 workers are employed by wind and solar businesses combined as of 2019.7

Renewable energy is cost-competitive, reliable, predictable and consistent in supply relative to conventional
fossil Fuels. During the past decade or so, green energy swept across the nation and our neighbors such as Iowa
and Minnesota already became superstars. Wisconsin, unfortunately, has fallen behind in both green energy
supply chain and manufacturing facilities. It is time for us to close the gap by identifying more opportunities for
Wisconsin to participate in renewable energy. We should fully commit to spurring our green energy generation
by expanding our existing and potential manufacturing capacities accordingly.
5. M
ethodology and Methodological Challenges to Estimating Current Capacity to Participate
in Green Energy Production
The are several methodological challenges to determining the capacity to produce physical output that may be
devoted to any specific end. These revolve around the small and nearly endless differences between manufac-
tured products. To understand this, consider the seemly simple example of “aluminum ingot”. To know whether
this product is suitable as an input for a specific manufacturing process and in what amounts we must also have
answers to the following questions. What is the specific grade of the aluminum? What specific refining processes
are to be employed, what is the loss rate of the aluminum during this process? If we wish to understand how
existing production might be converted to meet future demands the number of questions and answers we must
find increases significantly. It is for these reasons that economists long ago resorted to relying on market prices
rather than physical output to measure economic activity.
In most cases, reliance on market prices yields satisfactory information. If the price of a specific commodity rises,
holding all else equal, we can ascertain that demand for that commodity is increasing relative to all other substi-
tutes. We can further infer that, over time, production will increase to meet that demand. However, in periods of
significant structural realignment, social or environmental change, market prices cannot allow us to effectively
forecast what specific goods and services we might be able to produce in the future, altered, economic climate.
ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 11 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMYThankfully, economies rarely experience short term, radical, structural reform. Unfortunately, this means that
the techniques for guiding economies through these periods also remains highly underdeveloped. A rare ex-
ample of significant structural economic reform – and manufacturing in particular – occurred with the onset of
the Second World War. Although efforts to shift United States manufacturing to a wartime footing began years
before December 1941 U.S. entry into the conflict significantly increased the pace at which structural changes
would have to occur.8 Questions of capacity to produce raw materials such as iron, steel, brass, cotton, and wool
and finished goods such as aircraft, naval vessels, uniforms, and bullets became immediately critical. Of course,
no data was available to answer these questions. As a result, the war production board was forced to cast an
increasingly wider while also more specific nets in an attempt to ascertain exactly what, how much, and in what
time frame the industrial base of the nation could be brought to bear upon the production of the necessary
goods and services to win the war.
With this in mind, we have cast the net wide. Using a combination of NAICS industrial data and proprietary firm
data, that is scalable to the national level, we determine the real capacity for Wisconsin State manufacturers to
participate in the component supply chain associated with wind and solar power. In the majority of cases, these
producers are not currently engaged in these supply chains but there exists reason to believe that they might be.
To determine a list of potentially eligible current Wisconsin manufacturers a three-step process was employed:
first, a list of components associated with the production of solar cells, and wind turbines were developed
(more on this below). Separately, a master list of all Wisconsin industries was created using Census data (roughly
110,000 firms across 3000 industries). Using the industrial and components lists, a narrower list of industries was
constructed (roughly 3000 firms across 25 industries). The remaining 25 NAICS industrial codes were then used
to search within a proprietary database containing basic firm-level information.9 Within this group, individual
firms were further researched to determine their potential to produce output compatible with the aspect of the
components list. The result of this process is the 150 plus Wisconsin firms listed on the components list and, in
the table, below which we believe constitute a reasonable basis for beginning to think about Wisconsin State
capacity to engage in aspects of Green energy production.
6. Current Industry Assessment
Below we have complied a list of Wisconsin businesses that might contribute to or already contribute to the
production of green energy or participate in the supply chain. Ideally, we would have liked to identify all firms
that are already engaged in some way with green energy. As it is, we have only noted the firms that self-identify
themselves as green energy producers. The firms listed here range from very large firms with more than 1 Billion
USD in annual sales and over 2000 employees to very small firms with roughly $100,000 in annual sales and just
a handful of employees. Our rationale for including these very small firms is that while large scale production is
almost certain to be beyond their capacity smaller firms are often highly nimble and can produce prototypes
and conduct research and development within short timeframes. In total the annual sales of the firms listed is
roughly 32 Billion USD and total employment is over 28,000.

ADVANCING WISCONSIN’S GREEN • 12 • MANUFACTURING ECONOMYWisconsin firms of all sizes are already engaged in either the production of green energy or in the green energy
supply chain. Very large firms including Regal Beloit Corporation of Beloit, Wisconsin Power and Light of Madi-
son, and Cardinal Glass of Mazomanie; medium-size firms such as the Enerpac Corporation of Milwaukee and
Scan Pac Manufacturing Incorporated of Menomonee Falls; and small firms including Arteche PQ Incorporated also
of Menomonee Falls (see table 3) are explicitly engaged in either the production of green energy or green ener-
gy supply chains. These firms, or others listed in the spreadsheet below, would be good places for policymakers
to engage with business leaders to; first, better determine what the specific capacity might exist for expanded
production, second learn more about what obstacles to expansion exist in these marketplaces, and c) to deter-
mine other firms that might be able to be drawn into the green energy supply chains should rapid market or
non-market changes occur.
Table 6.1 provides a list of the major components necessary for wind turbine manufacture, along with a brief
description of the component and a list of Wisconsin firms that we believe might be able to participate in that
particular aspect of the broader production supply chain.
